Who Should I Start? Tutu Atwell or Jayden Reed

The Los Angeles Rams placed wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Monday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Now that he's on IR, Atwell will be forced to miss at least four games and won't be eligible to return until Week 13 against the Carolina Panthers on Nov. 30. The 26-year-old has been a depth option for the Rams' WR corps this year, but he did have a two-week streak with three catches, 160 yards and a touchdown as a deep threat for quarterback Matthew Stafford. He was unable to capitalize on Puka Nacua's (ankle) absence in Week 6 in London in the win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in which he played just 10 offensive snaps due to his hamstring injury. While Atwell is on the shelf, look for Jordan Whitting to play a bigger role as a complementary piece behind Nacua and Davante Adams, who have been target hogs in the Rams' passing attack.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) has officially been placed on Injured Reserve, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. This move comes as no surprise after Reed suffered a fractured collarbone in Week 2. He had also been attempting to play through a Jones fracture in his foot, so Reed underwent operations on both injuries earlier this week. The IR placement guarantees Reed will miss at least four games, but he's almost certain to be out significantly longer than that. Without him, Packers wide receivers Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, and Matthew Golden could all see a bump in both snaps and target volume. Reed could be stashed in fantasy leagues that offer an IR spot, but there's no guarantee he will be able to return in time to make an impact later this season.
